Question Auto + handbrake = roll

I have noticed that when I park the car on a slight incline, put it in park and apply the handbrake, when I take my foot off the footbrake the car rolls a good inch or two. Is that normal, are other with the auto box finding this?

I expect a tiny bit of movement, but am surprised by how much this car moves. Wouldn't say it's a dangerous amount, but very noticeable. On my E81 (also auto) plus a couple of other autos I've owned, didn't get anywhere near as much roll.

PS, the car's a Sport auto, but am sure that won't make a difference.
